The purpose of this study is to explore the intensity of emotions and social skills in a physical education teaching unit (PE). Two instruments of analysis are used: the GES (Games and Emotion Scale) to evaluate emotions and an ad-hoc questionnaire to measure the social skills of 21 students in the sixth year of primary education. The data analysis was carried out using a generalised estimating equation model (GEE), taking into account the correlation between the different scores of the same subject and the asymmetry of the data. The results show positive emotions to be significantly more intense than negative ones and ambiguous emotions are revealed throughout all the PE sessions.

El objetivo de la investigación es mostrar cómo se representan las personas con discapacidad en las imágenes de los libros de texto de Educación Física en la etapa de Educación Primaria. El estudio es de tipo empírico, descriptivo y comparativo entre los libros de texto analizados. La muestra recogió 3836 imágenes de libros de texto publicados en España entre los años 2006 y 2013, bajo la Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE). La técnica de investigación fue el análisis de contenido a través de un sistema de categorías elaborado ad hoc, previa validación y fiabilidad mediante una prueba piloto, una consulta a expertos/as y una prueba intercodificadores. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el software SPSS 19.0. Se realizó un análisis univariante y bivariante con la prueba Kolmogorov-Smirnov, la prueba de Levene y el test Ji-Cuadrado de Pearson con un nivel de significación del 5%. Los resultados mostraron que las personas con discapacidad son prácticamente excluidas en dichas imágenes, siendo casi invisible la mujer con discapacidad. A su vez, la persona con discapacidad es de raza blanca, entre niña y joven y con una discapacidad física, principalmente representada en silla de ruedas. La actividad física que aparece en este colectivo se asocia a la práctica deportiva, en un ámbito competitivo y de máximo nivel. Estos resultados están muy alejados de la inclusión de la discapacidad en la sociedad actual y concretamente, en los libros de texto de Educación Física en Primaria, del sistema educativo español.  Abstract. The objective of this research is to show how people with disabilities are represented in Physical Education textbooks in use in Primary Education. The study design is empirical, descriptive, and focuses on comparing between the analyzed textbooks. A sample of 3,836 images were collected from textbooks published in Spain between 2006 and 2013, under the Organic Law of Education (LOE). A research technique based on content analysis was employed through a tailor-made system of categories, which was previously tested for validity and reliability in a pilot study, by consulting experts, as well as by intercoder agreement test. The statistical analysis of data was performed using the software SPSS 19.0. Univariate and bivariate analysis with Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene test and Pearson Chi-Square test were performed, setting the significance level at 5%. Results showed that people with disabilities are mostly excluded in these images, especially impaired women. Disabled people are represented as Caucasian, either children or youth with a physical disability, mostly using wheelchair. Physical activity appearing in this group is associated with sports at a competitive and maximum level. These results are far from the inclusion of disability in today's society and specifically in textbooks of Physical Education in Primary Education within the Spanish educational system.

Se aplica un cuestionario ad hoc a 36 profesionales en activo (maestros especialistas en EF) que participan en el prácticum de la mención del alumnado de 4º curso del grado de maestro/a de Primaria para que manifiesten los problemas reales de enseñanza, así como la importancia y el impacto social que tiene la EF como materia educativa. Se pretende también compartir diferentes puntos de vista de los profesionales para hacer propuestas para mejorar la formación de los profesionales de EF. Como conclusiones del estudio, se observa que la mayoría optan por la motivación como factor y condición que promueve el éxito de la EF como materia curricular y creen que se debería potenciar el trabajo cooperativo. Las características más valoradas de los profesores y profesoras de EF son: saber trabajar en equipo EF y la utilización de proyectos de innovación educativa, flexibles y adaptados al contexto, lo que supone un aprendizaje significativo. Los profesionales consideran que se debe potenciar la motricidad aplicando metodologías activas, dinámicas y reflexivas y dan mucha importancia al aprendizaje continuo. Por tanto, se proponen cursos de formación y la realización de intercambios de experiencias.Abstract. The present study holds the objective to observe the current state of Physical Education (PE) as a discipline through research based on the experience and the knowledge of active professionals. An ad-hoc questionnaire was completed by 36 active professionals (specialist teachers in PE) who participate in the practicum of majors of PE in the 4th year of Primary Education Bachelor. The instrument intends to bring to light the real problems of teaching, as well as the importance and the social impact that PE has as an educational subject. It also aims to share different points of view of active professionals and make proposals to improve the training of PE professionals. As conclusions of the study, most consider motivation as a factor and condition to promote the success of PE as a curricular subject and believe that cooperative work should be encouraged. The most valued characteristics of PE teachers are: knowing how to work as a PE team and the use of educational innovation projects that are flexible and adapt to the context, resulting in significant learning. Professionals consider that motor skills should be enhanced by applying active, dynamic and reflective methodologies and give great importance to ongoing learning. Therefore, proposals include training courses and exchanges of experiences.

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo diseñar una herramienta, a partir de dos sistemas de categorías validados previamente, que pudiera analizar las imágenes impresas en los libros de texto de Educación Física (EF) en la etapa de Educación Primaria. Para ello se desarrolló SAIMEF (Sistema de Análisis de Imágenes en Educación Física), una aplicación php diseñada ad hoc, que facilita el acceso al sistema y minimiza los errores de análisis. La herramienta consta de dos sistemas de categorías para el análisis: SC-I para las imágenes en las que aparece la figura humana realizando actividad física (con 72 indicadores) y SC-II para el resto de las imágenes (con 47 indicadores). La validez del sistema se realizó mediante el análisis de tres observadores para comprobar la congruencia de la herramienta. La muestra se compuso de 192 imágenes publicadas en los libros de texto de EF en Educación Primaria, bajo la Ley Orgánica de Educación. Para el cálculo de la fiabilidad del sistema se aplicó el coeficiente de Kappa que obtuvo una concordancia de 0.81. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que la herramienta SAIMEF es fiable y válida para analizar las imágenes de los libros de texto de EF en la etapa de Primaria. Abstract. This research aims to design a tool from two previously validated category systems that could analyze images printed on textbooks of Physical Education (PE) in Primary Education. For this, SAIMEF (Image Analysis System in Physical Education) was developed, a php application designed ad hoc, which facilitates access to the system and minimizes analysis errors. The tool consists of two systems of categories for the analysis: SC-I for the images in which the human figure appears performing physical activity (with 72 indicators) and SC-II for the rest of the images (with 47 indicators). The validity of the system was assessed through the analysis of three observers who checked the congruence of the tool. The sample consisted of 192 images published in textbooks of PE in Primary Education under the Education Law. Kappa coefficient was employed to calculate the reliability of the system, obtaining a concordance of 0.81. The results indicated that the SAIMEF tool is reliable and valid to analyze the images of textbooks in primary PE.

Abstract: Acceptance and rejection in the group are related to both personality characteristics and social skills and most studies focus on children instead of college students. The objective of this study was to investigate whether acceptance and rejection would be more associated with personality tendencies, specifically socialization or social skills. We collected data from 187 college students attending the Physical Education (67%) and Psychology (32%) courses. The instruments were the sociometric test, the Factorial Scale of Socialization and the Social Skills Inventory. A moderating effect of gender in the relationship between assertiveness and acceptance and rejection to go out on college was observed. Social skills were better predictors of acceptance and social rejection in the university group.

This study examined the experiences of parents of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) as they sought inclusive sport participation for their children. To understand their experiences, in-depth interviews were conducted with 49 parents. Qualitative data analysis was conducted to identify common themes from the responses. The analysis showed that most parents sought inclusive sport involvement for their children but they soon gave up their effort due to rejection by staff and other participants. Underlying these attitudinal problems were a lack of quality contact between people with and without ID and a lack of understanding of people with ID. Parents’ lack of sense of entitlement, low sport values, and lack of participation information and opportunities also contributed to their giving up of inclusive sport. Factors leading to successful inclusion included staff inclusion attitudes and abilities and the social skills of individuals with ID.

La presente investigación aborda uno de los temas más emergentes de la educación física actual: el camino a seguir para conseguir una educación física emocional. El estudio toma como marco teórico de referencia la praxiología motriz y las principales aportaciones teóricas de la educación emocional. La vivencia de juegos motores, clasificados en cuatro dominios de acción motriz (psicomotor, cooperación, oposición y cooperación–oposición), así como el hecho que se experimenten con competición o sin competición, genera diferentes emociones a los alumnos. El objeto de estudio fue estudiar los efectos de juegos motores de distintos dominios de acción motriz sobre la intensidad de emociones positivas, negativas y ambiguas. Entre los resultados más destacados se observó que los juegos cooperativos sin competición suscitaron las emociones positivas más intensas. Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten, en las conclusiones, proporcionar orientaciones para ayudar a los profesionales de la educación física a tomar decisiones acertadas y fundamentadas, para saber qué juegos son más adecuados de proponer en cada momento y poder programar con rigor su intervención educativa.Abstract. This research addresses one of the emerging themes of modern physical education, i.e. the way to achieve an emotional physical education. The study is grounded in the motor praxeology theoretical framework and the main theoretical contributions of emotional education. Motor games experiences, divided into four domains of motor action (psychomotricity, cooperation, opposition, and cooperation - opposition), with or without competition, generate different emotions in pupils. The study focuses on the emotional impact of these motor experiences on pupils. Among the most considerable results, cooperation games, especially those without competition, triggered the most positive emotions. In conclusion, our outcomes allow us to provide a helpful guidance for physical education professionals to take founded and proper decisions while discerning what games are more suitable according to the situation, and also to fully implement these games in the classroom.
